educator? The central protagonist of the educational relationship, not the recipient or user, is the one who is educated, education. We educate the human person, a unique, unrepeatable, concrete. We educate the formation of the human person as a whole, "the man then, but the individual man and integral
unity of body and soul, heart and conscience, intellect and will " (Gaudium et Spes 3) . Education is not a contract or a concession, but that
relationship that allows the process to the promotion and development of the human person. Educate is the process which normally be the man, that develops, manifests and brings the ability only implied at birth. The term derives from the Latin
education educationis , which in turn comes from educating (the same root
ducere , ie lead, carry and seduces
which means to bring with him) and that means breeding, growing, nourish both physically and morally. So has clear affinities with the verb
edoc (ie teaching, coaching, state, and at the same time, provide models to be followed in order to learn, is expressed in organizing what is already is given and not in the construction of what is still there, but it would be desirable that there was). In the Italian verb educate but also blends with
educere , ie
ex ducere , which means in the first instance, take away, take over, then also pull out, draw out
man is the potential for positive exploit them for its improvement, is helping to get rid of the flaws to overcome . These two Latin verbs have the same root but express different senses that should not be confused. Educating means in fact "bring out", despite all the limitations related to the experience of each of us who do not take their validity. This is a point on which we can not agree, because every boy, but also the adult,
tory needs and helped to discover and rediscover the value of himself, and the reality of things . If by "grow" is the result outside of the educational process, even the meaning of "take off" is particularly limiting because it highlights the action of the educator. Instead, it is not the place of the person schoolgirl, that this can be trained to know, to accept, to come up and build him when he entered into relationship with the reality that surrounds it. And the reality is people, facts, events, past and present, of which this is the same child, but also the "parent" of the future.
ideology kills reality, the hypocrisy and damage educe dangerous illusions.
It can therefore be argued that the special education covers two different ways of being and of interpersonal relations, sponsored by the educator towards education. First of all, ensure that appropriate conditions are put if growth interior and exterior of the subject takes place in the best possible environment , objective and subjective. But it is precisely through and with this action that we strive above all to secure appropriate educational practice for concretized what already exists in the pupil . So the person feels encouraged, according to a particular line of development, its global growth and is helped to learn from himself what is already there. Education is the explanatory memorandum to the truth about themselves and the reality in the sense that one side offers a vision received by the principles of the world required that the person knows from the same as a yardstick by which to measure all or more possibilities, the other shows an adequate response to that need, properly human, to find meaning in the real unit which responds to their choices, on pain of indifference or, worse, cynicism.
The educational activity must take account of reality and must be in relation to the object that is the subject of educating. The train is neither a cost nor a convention, but deep inner conviction of the man who from birth does not make itself, does not come by itself and does not come by itself, can not grow by itself, can not live alone. The educability remains one of the fundamental human potential and not become a habit and routine, otherwise the estrangement from oneself and the other distractions. You can not expect to educate others without, in turn, be educated. Said John Wilmot Earl of Rochester: "before I got married I had six theories about how to educate children. Today I have six children and no theory. " In fact, if there is something you want to change in others, you should first look good and see if it is not something that needs to be changed in ourselves. Let educate and educate oneself is the initial thrust of the training themselves. E 'especially personal touch that you can not empower people to form solid, capable of collaborating with others to communicate the true good and to give meaning to their lives.

Reflection Luciano Corradini
Emeritus Professor University of Rome and President Emeritus UCIIM
publish this contribution we have received on the purpose and task of education. Applauds the commitment of mobilization on the issue of education as central for the next ten years, but there is also a risk that the words logorino, being restricted to repeat what is already known, may not be able to make strides in understanding the problems and finding effective solutions and compelling. Against this you have to fight fatigue prior, hard analysis of the difficulties and achievements, which are not all negative as it seems at times blacks. We must think and talk among members and colleagues, also comparing our experiences with sincerity and discretion.
The method and the spirituality of the study
Speech by Luca Arcangeli
FUCI Rimini
publish this posting Luca Arcangeli Fuci that the explicit methodological also has to do with being educated as to the true fans through the real and personal commitment. We have already talked about how to educate and seduce have in common and in fact, Luke says that "sterile is the truth that is sought with passionate love, about emotions and love that is not based on respect for the truth."
Then inspired by this passion of Bernard Lonergan. In fact, this author says in the preface of the 1953 original Insight or understanding, that "rational self-consciousness is a peak above the clouds. Intelligent and reasonable, responsible and free scientific and metaphysical, it is overlaid on top of romantic spontaneity and depth psychology, and of historical determinism ' social engineering, the subject's existential upset and indecipherable symbols and the modernist artist. Yet if the man can climb the peak of his inner being, it can also fail to pay attention to the possibility of ascent, or even can begin the climb only to lose his way. If then he knows himself as in fact, can not know more that have been thrown into the world to be afflicted with questions that do not respond, and with aspirations that do not meet. Indeed, the paradox is that man what he is by nature is much less than it might become. "To this invitation to steal. And to consider all its consequences, the focus of its inner intelligence and reasonableness. It is intellection that does not show so much in the faculty of intelligence, and that of the dynamic process that involves various acts at various levels to learn and to know what is to know their intelligence, their rationality, their essential freedom and limited effective . Learn the focus is "earn nell'intellezione intellection, rend the external exposures, verbal and conceptual mathematics, science and common sense and penetrate the inner dynamism of intelligent search and critical thinking. "
Remarks to the reflections of Luciano Corradini
Speech by Gabriele Paganelli Area Manager Education Family Association Center for Studies on New Generations
Bello, really interesting and stimulating the participation of Carlo Luciano Corradini, professor did not know. In its brief, without ever touching dwell deep decisive arguments in the current educational debate. Beginning with a critical note, I tracked down in the first paragraph, The difficult and necessary educational care for old and new diseases Italy, where the rich and evocative images do not allow my mind to understand clearly enough what the old and new diseases in Italy. He talked about pollution taking for granted the social soil that facilitates the emergence of these diseases. I would investigate this point, but apart from this personal and questionable observation, it is a really good job, I agree.
In paragraph Landfill and pollution also psychological and cultural is effective have restored the sentence of Plato's Gorgias, where there is a clear difference between the pleasure principle and the principle of good. Freud believed that education should aim to transition from the pleasure principle to reality principle, Giussani explaining the method of the school community stresses the difference between correspondence and pleasure ...
I was particularly struck paragraph Send to inspire, educate voices of the verb, where it is highlighting the difference between forward and to raise and the subsequent call to the educational dimension of the appeal that challenges the freedom of those / the one who is educated / a. This appeal calls into question evidently Likelihood educational Giussani.
In paragraph from discomfort lived in what is known: to engage know we are talking about sovereign citizens, precious principle that I consider particularly good, which clearly recalls the School of Barbiana, who had this in one of its major strongholds of education. Further, where professional Corradini speak of spirituality, brings to mind a person who I think will emerge stronger and embody this dimension of spirituality. This is Alessandro oats, a teacher of history and philosophy at a high school in Milan. He has written about a book a year ago, white as milk, as red as blood. The book is certainly wonderful, but I know D'Avenia also some inroads in Cl and read some interviews. Care then a blog done very well, www.profduepuntozero.it, where there is also clearly detectable in this spiritual training. If you wish, I strongly suggest you go and discover this great witness of secondary school teachers.
